BREAKING NEWS!!!11

A woman jumped from the Peabody Hotel - I'm assuming- roof. A firefighter nearby said she landed between a horse and it's buggy (pictured below).

Bad news is she is now dead as a doornail but don't worry the horse is ok...just spooked.

reply to david sedaris

A friend of david sedaris' sister wrote an op-ed responding to the essay sedaris wrote. keeks reported on that story earlier. It's an interesting perspective.

you missed it!

there was a jumper on the brooklyn bridge a minute ago, but the police tricked him into thinking he had a reason to live, so he's down and safe now.

this guy took a pretty awesome picture through one of those coin-operated binocular things at the seaport.

remember jonathan brandis?

he was friends with that dolphin that could talk on seaquest. and he was really good at soccer and played on an all girls team called the ladybugs.

URPDATE: ANIMALS DEAD IN OH-HIOOOO

There is now a graphic image of a pile of dead exotic animals after the jump.

y'all hear what T.I. did yesterday?

Wednesday afternoon, T.I. said he was pulling out of his driveway and headed to a video shoot. He said he heard on V-103 about the man threatening to jump from 400 Colony Square, the 22-story Midtown building that houses the radio station.

Peachtree Street was temporarily blocked off between 14th and 15th streets, and MARTA buses were rerouted, police said. Witnesses in nearby buildings reported seeing a man sitting on the edge of the building.

"He is visible from the street level," Atlanta fire Capt. Jolyon Bundridge told the AJC.

T.I. "came to the scene and offered to talk to him," Officer James Polite with Atlanta police told the AJC.

An officer at street level recorded a video message from T.I. and sent it to a negotiator on the roof, who showed it to the 24-year-old man.

T.I. said the message simply stated "that I was here and I was looking forward to meeting him and that no matter what's going on in life now, it gets better."

When the man came down, he spoke to T.I. for about five minutes. (via)

did you hear about the gay kid from rutgers who killed himself

a lot of people read the internet and think that because of the guys on modern family or because dont ask dont tell is (maybe?) close to being repealed that its getting easier and easier to be a young gay person in america. step outside of yourself and realize that coming out is the most difficult thing a kid can do, and read this. give me a break please. i want to live in a world where gay kids dont feel like they have to kill themselves. and this one. and this one.

in case things get bad

in other bear news

i was clicking through the Top 10 Bear Stories You Need to Know, and this one in particular caught my attention. turns out this bear lost the will to live, but reconsidered after taking the plunge off this bridge. the bear was trapped and hanging on for dear life until some rescuers figured out a way to suspend a net and save the day. via.
